Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: California Ale
Yeast Starter: No
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Boiling Time (Minutes): 75
Color: 13.9
Ingredients:
8 Pounds American 2-Row (80%)
.75 Pound Crystal 60L (7.5%)
.5 Pound Crystal 120L (5%)
.5 Pound Vienna Malt (5%)
.25 Pound Victory Malt (2.5%)
1.0 OZ Columbus (14%) 60 min
1.0 OZ COlumbus (14%) 45 min
1.0 OZ Nugget (15%) 10 min
1.0 OZ Nugget (15%) 1 min
.75 OZ Yakima (cause it was laying around) 1 min
1 OZ Notsureyet dry hop
Mash at 154 for 60 min
Initially the day went swimmingly. Hit my mash temp dead on, guesstimated my sparge volume and hit 6.5 gallons pre-boil dead on. Began the boil and continued till about the 10 minute mark where I immersed my chiller. The temp dropped the wort out of boil. I saw a leak on my chiller so I pulled it out and was fixing it, when I noticed the wort not coming back to a boil. There was about a 5-8 minute span of non-boil. I decided that since my tank was near empty, there wasn't enough gas being fed to effectively heat the kettle. So I put on a new tank and brought it back to a boil when I put the chiller back in. That dropped the temp below boil once again. It took another 3-5 minutes to start boiling again. After it was all said and done, about 15 minutes had passed without a boil. So I boiled for another 15 minutes. Racking into the carboy I yielded a tad under 5 gallons (which I assume was from the longer boil).
-Not sure how the lapse in boil will affect this batch, but next time I hope it works smoother.
Any input towards possible adverse effect from the boil lapse?
Also, hows that recipe look?
